Product Overview
Methylcyclohexane, 99% purity, is a high-grade solvent specifically formulated for spectroscopy applications. This cycloalkane derivative exhibits exceptional transparency in the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) regions, making it ideal for analytical techniques requiring minimal interference. Its low polarity and high chemical stability ensure consistent performance in chromatographic separations and spectroscopic analyses. The solvent undergoes rigorous purification to eliminate impurities, including water, peroxides, and UV-absorbing compounds, guaranteeing reliable baseline stability in sensitive instruments. With a narrow boiling range and controlled refractive index, this spectroscopy-grade Methylcyclohexane provides reproducible results across multiple experimental runs. The product is packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation and maintain purity during storage. Its compatibility with common laboratory materials like PTFE and borosilicate glass further enhances its utility in diverse analytical workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the UV cutoff wavelength for this spectroscopy-grade Methylcyclohexane?
This product typically exhibits a UV cutoff below 210 nm, making it suitable for most UV-Vis spectroscopy applications.
2. Can this solvent be used with HPLC systems?
While primarily designed for spectroscopy, its high purity makes it compatible with normal-phase HPLC applications when used as a mobile phase component.
3. What precautions should be taken during storage?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent contamination.
4. Is this Methylcyclohexane suitable for NMR spectroscopy?
While not deuterated, the high purity makes it usable as a solvent for proton NMR when residual proton signals are acceptable in the analysis.
5. What materials are incompatible with this solvent?
Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, halogens, and some plastics like polystyrene which may dissolve or degrade.
